Kickoff doesn't arrive until 6:30 p.m. So what is the proper amount of Super Bowl Sunday viewing before you settle in for the Patriots and Eagles?

It varies by the individual, but even the early risers can get warmed up with an array of football and non-football options.

Here is your guide to some of what is available before and after the big game:

9 a.m.: For those who don't like flipping channels and want nothing but football, "NFL GameDay Morning" (NFL Network) has an 8½-hour show. Shouldn't the name change to "GameDay Afternoon" at noon?

10 a.m.: "Postseason NFL Countdown" (ESPN) is a more manageable four hours.

11:30 a.m.: Our soccer friends tell us that Tottenham at Liverpool (NBCSN) is an important English Premier League match.

Noon: The pre-pregame show "Road to the Super Bowl" (NBC-13) gets the network that will air the game started. There are several college basketball games, highlighted by Seton Hall-Villanova (Fox-23) and Illinois-Ohio State (FS1). For pro fans, there are Hawks-Knicks (MSG) and Bucks-Nets (YES). If you want to get your mind off sports, "Kitten Bowl V" (Hallmark) offers three hours of felines.
